Plex removing support for custom agents and scanners #152

It looks like the XBMC NFO importers are about to become obsolete? Of course! Just as I started relying on them. Any chance of a solution moving forward?

Unfortunately, this was foreseeable. News from 2018. https://www.plex.tv/blog/subtitles-and-sunsets-big-improvements-little-housekeeping/

This is false news. It only applies to the NVIDIA shield.

Where do you see false news?

Deprecation note from 2018:

Plugins: This was not a decision taken lightly, as they’ve been around for a long time, and we’ve had good times both writing and using them. But bluntly, hardly anyone uses them (less than 2% of users), the ancient protocol they use is a continued pain for clients to support, and if we were to build the feature again, we’d do it very differently in this day and age. For utility-type functionality, we love standalone apps like Tautulli and believe this is a better approach. But don’t panic—while the Plugin Directory will soon be gone, you can still manually install plugins for the foreseeable future.

Recent news:

we are announcing today that we’ll be removing support for plug-ins entirely going forward. This process will begin with only Android-based Plex Media Server releases [...]

For now, its only NVIDIA Shield.
